Dems vote down push to abolish superdelegates

The Democratic Rules Committee voted down an effort to abolish the role of unbound superdelegates, dealing a blow to supporters, many of whom see the superdelegate system as unfair...

As sponsors of this amendment, we believe that the internal structures of our Democratic Party must reflect our core values. Right now the superdelegate system does not do that," he said. "There is currently absolutely no rule keeping superdelegates in future cycles from overturning the will of the people, creating a perception among many of our voters that the system can be rigged."

One proponent of the amendment said that superdelegates are disproportionately male and the "voices of women are getting lost" as a result. She urged that the the party's internal rules should reflect its public support for the empowerment of women.

"How can we fight for equality for women in all other areas of our society, if don't care to ensure, where we actually have power to do so, that we do have equality," she said.

Most other arguments in support of reform centered on disproportionate representation of minorities which, according to the supporters of the amendment, entirely undermines the democratic system.

The party of the people. What a joke. The party to divide the people.

The democrats have been holding slaves since our nation began. When they lost the right to directly own and control slaves, they simply changed the methodology and made people slaves to a welfare system. Doesn't change the premise of controlling a portion of the population, but they manage to appear better, offering "welfare" as a means to enslave and subjugate people.

I've asked this question before and still haven't gotten an answer. What is the GOP doing to rectify this?

Thanks Rob, I see that not much has changed in our "absence".

It's so weird to see people obsess over folks voting options, yet no one ever asks why so many people are "slaves" to vote for the GOP.
